Illustration Friday "Play"

A quiet moment after a long day of play at the beach...

This is a commissioned soft pastel piece that I finished last week. It is quite large for me - 17x23 inches - and took about 30 hours of work done in less than a week.

I hope you can excuse the infrequent postings while I recuperate from that exhaustive effort as well as continue work on my newly rekindled love of singing and guitar playing. It's a tough choice - visual art or music. Mostly I can only do one at a time. My attempts at combining the two usually end with me paralyzed with indecision. So for now, the one who calls the loudest wins.
